The 2011 Eastern Conference for Workplace Democracy will bring together
representatives of worker cooperatives, ESOP's, and other
cooperatively-run organizations to strengthen the network of democratic
workplaces in the Eastern United States. Through networking, seminars,
tours, and storytelling, participants will exchange tools and solutions
for democratic management and development of cooperative workplaces. We
will share strategies for building systems for regional support and
advocating for ourselves as we build momentum toward the 2012
International Year of Cooperatives.

The Eastern Conference for Workplace Democracy supports an economy that
utilizes cooperative and democratic organizational structures to
support equitable systems for exchanging goods, services & products
and stewardship of the commons for mutual benefit by all. Organizers of the ECWD believe
that democratic workplaces are the fundamental building blocks that
power our work towards economic, social, and environmental justice and
solidarity.
